Description

Group Golf Therapy is officially back for season 3! Another chewy block of 20 sessions is coming to you, and we begin this batch with a timely one: professional golfer, Hailey Davidson. Hailey is the first trans woman to win a professional golf tournament in the US, but eking out a living on mini tours isn't easy — a reality she shares with us on the show. After posting 2-under par in her first round at Q-School this year, Hailey drew negative attention from conservative media regarding her identity as a trans woman fighting to earn LPGA Tour status. While articles in Fox News, The Daily Mail, and Breitbart painted an inaccurate and regressive account of Hailey's situation, she does believe they opened a door for her to share her story and experiences. 
In this session: life on the mini tours, gender transition in professional golf, infecting others with positivity on the golf course.
